Bifolds are possibly the most popular style of patio doors we sell, and it's easy to see why.
As their name suggests, bifold doors fold in on themselves in a concertina style when opened. Also known as folding sliding doors, they push neatly to one side of the doorframe, which makes them very space-efficient. They work well in small rooms where sliding doors might restrict movement or airflow thanks to their static panel.
External bifold doors are great for anyone who loves to socialise, as you have one fluid entertaining space to share with guests. They're also great for families, as parents can watch their children with ease.
We're big fans of external bifold doors at Aspire, so we offer a wide range of finishes and designs in our bifold door collection.
Our external bifold patio doors are available in a range of materials to allow you to pick a set that matches both your practical and your aesthetic needs.
Our prefinished doors are ready to hang as soon as they arrive. They come in a door set which includes all the hardware and furniture you need to install them, making them the most convenient option.
In contrast, our unfinished bifold doors will take a little more work but can be finished at home to perfectly complement your home. You can stain or paint your new sliding patio doors the way you want, turning your dream home into a reality however unique your dream might be.
U-value is used to determine the thermal efficiency. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation.
Our bifold doors sit around a 1.4 U-value. This is especially useful during colder months, as your heating will be trapped inside where you want it. Not only does this save on energy bills, but it's also more environmentally friendly.
We've designed our bifold doors for longevity, as well as beauty. With our doors, we offer the most modern construction and safety features to ensure they will last.
Our bifold doors either meet or exceed current building regulations in the UK. They feature increased thermal insulation properties, so your new doors won't hike your energy bills. And with toughened glass and double glazing, our doors help keep your property safe and secure.
If you're struggling to find the right doors for your home, you can contact our customer service team for support. They'll answer any questions you have about our bifold doors, from their energy efficiency to delivery times for orders.
Yes, all of our external bifold doors include a daily access door as standard. This allows you to use one of the door panels like a traditional single-hinged door, making everyday access quick and convenient.
Whether you’re letting the dog out, taking out the bins, or simply stepping into the garden, you can open the access door without needing to unlock and fold back the entire bifold system.
Our external French doors, bi-fold doors and sliding doors are supplied with everything you need, including the necessary hardware such as handles, hinges and security locking systems. For single external front and back doors, the hardware included varies depending on the product. Please check the individual product information for details.
All of our external door sets are fully compliant with Part L 2022 of British building regulations, meaning they offer excellent thermal insulation and energy efficiency.
Timber external doors can be painted to refresh their appearance and provide additional weather protection. However, aluminium and uPVC doors are supplied with durable factory-applied finishes and are not generally intended to be repainted. If you're considering changing the colour of your door, always check the manufacturer's recommendations before starting any work.

Yes, all our external door sets feature high-security hardware and a multi-point locking system as standard, alongside toughened Low E double glazed units, which provide added strength and safety.
Installing an exterior door can be a straightforward project for experienced DIYers, but larger doors such as French doors, sliding doors and bi-fold doors are heavy and typically require more than one person to fit safely. Before ordering, it's important to accurately measure your opening to ensure you choose the correct size. All Aspire Doors products are supplied with fitting instructions, although many customers choose to use a professional installer to ensure the best fit, performance and security.
